Did you know we offer diabetic shoe fitting? We are your diabetes experts. Proper foot care is important in all patients with diabetes. Patients with diabetes can develop neuropathy, a painful nerve condition in their legs and feet. Neuropathy also leads to decreased foot sensation. Decreased sensation (lack of feeling) can cause minor blisters and calluses to develop into serious sores that are difficult to heal. Proper shoe fit can prevent blisters and calluses from developing. At Homer Drug Co., we have a certified diabetic shoe fitter on staff. Call today and speak with Marie Webb, CPhT, CFT. She'll make an appointment to examine your feet, talk with your doctor, and fit you for a pair of diabetic shoes that are just for you. Medicare pays 100% toward one pair of diabetic shoes per year, for all qualified patients. We are Dedicated To Your Health And Wellness, let us help you today! https://bit.ly/3GwXw5O
